Feminine Gospels
by Carol Ann Duffy
In Feminine Gospels, Duffy draws on women's experience - both personal and historical - in poems which celebrate, elegise and eroticise the female condition.
With themes of beauty, identity and the body, the book tells tall stories as though they were the gospel truth, and presents new myths as strange and powerful as the old.

What you thought
I think this collection is perfect. It really opens your eyes (when analysing) to the message of Carol Ann Duffy in each poem whether it be the effect of beauty and what it really is, how your past stays with you or others. The only downside for me is the daunting length of the poem 'The Laughter of Stafford Girl's High' Whilst being a good poem, it is not very quick and easy thing to analyse coming form an english students point of view but it can be enjoyed none the less.
